The article reports that University of New South Wales (UNSW) scientists achieved a world's first when solar panel efficiency was increased with over 40 percent of sunlight hitting panels converted into electricity, resulting in lower renewable energy costs. Topics discussed include increased conversion level with sunlight split into four cells, record efficiency level confirmed by U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and solar power firm RayGen Resources to harness prototype technology.
